I have been exploring the decorative elements of various familiar traditions and cultures, as well as my own, past and present and translated them onto the canvas.

In this new context I explore decorative images as the decorative but also as the narrative where the formal communicates with the expressive, the figurative with the abstract and various mediums with one another as the various cultures meet and communicate in a visual language.

Triggered by the ever changing ocean and skies of my current surroundings The C-Series integrates my fascination forgeometric shapes, in this case the cube and rectangle, and explores the notions of weight and weightlessness, solidand liquid, textures and how we perceive them. On another level the series is also a love story investigating the idea of closeness and distance, intimacy and estrangement.

"My photographs are about an instant that moved me, that subtle unnamed thing touched and revealed. Its not aboutwords or what I see, its the split seconds that say more about me than what I photograph, the discovery of theunfamiliar in ordinary moments."Realism is the unknown in her underwater photography and it is here she gets to play as much as she pleases.

My work is also about the process of creating an image. As I transfer my energy onto the canvas, so the image responds and reciprocates, entering into a dialogue with me, a free exchange where the unconscious can react to what my consciousness is perceiving so that the image may emerge as it wants and needs to.

I attempt at all times to remain as receptive as possible to what I see, leaving all preconceptions behind so that the colours, the lines and the shapes take on their own life.

My work is also about the materials I use and their properties and I try to respect them with all the integrity that I have.
